It does have a pretty good overclock from the factory (GV-R695OC-1GD) @870MHz, but I haven't tweaked it.

I'm thinking it's not the video card anymore - I was recording a new video using screen capture software forgetting I used my cell phone for the first one, and although I saw lots of glitching on the screen none of it was recorded, which makes me think it's the monitor now. Switched to...

Since the start of the year I've been getting a graphical glitch when scrolling/moving a window at startup. Shutting down and restarting makes it go away and it doesn't come back mid-session. Happens once or twice a week, starting to take multiple reboots. I have a gigabyte HD6950 1gb and I...

I want a faster SSD than the one I have with more capacity so I can have all my games installed at once

How long have been been successfully using their resurrected cards ... does this tend to be a temporary fix or a permanent one? I used this trick about a year ago to bring back a 4850, I was running two in crossfire. I decided to just upgrade to a 5850 so it's basically been sitting ever...

I'm not sure the picture does it justice on how much bigger it is ... and the resolution - 1.7mp vs 4.1mp, over double the pixels of my old screen. I am coming from 22" though so a smaller step up for you.

Here you go ... a landscape and portrait. Games feel more immersive with the big screen, and I think look better with the finer dot pitch, ie could get away with less AA. Still can use maxed settings, but I'm not playing the most cutting edge games.

Got my monitor ... ordered it on Monday and the projected delivery date was Friday. Definitely dwarfs my 22" 2209wa. Got a rev 03/July model - no bad pixels or obvious tint issues. Was concerned about text size with the smaller dot pitch since a lot of people seem to have better eyes than I do...

I called. Went through dell small business, not sure if one is more flexible than home, though I think home has free shipping. Kinda of a one-man company, but I think anyone can have a business account. I just said I was ready to buy the monitor but saw I just missed the free shipping/25% sale...

I just called and got it for 1124 + 60 tax ... didn't mention the 25% off/current sale combo, but the first thing she said it would be 25% off the retail price after talking to the manager so it wouldn't have flown anyway. I also asked for and got free shipping since I noticed they didn't have...

Just read through this entire thread and I've decided on the u3011 mainly for gaming and coding. Was interesting hitting pockets of people complaining about wide gamut and input lag, coating, etc but overall seems like a great monitor. I currently have a 2209wa (I have no issue with the...

Ya, the upper right light is the hard drive activity light. Try swapping the power/HDD connectors as a test since you know the power LED is working. Honestly I could almost do without that light, with constant indexing etc it's always blinking once a second or so - will have to see if I can...

The plastic pins holding the magnets do seem like a weak point, I had one broken as well. I also had a number of loose thumbscrews in the bottom of the case, and many that were close to being loose, though they were all accounted for.

I couldn't figure it out either .. there didn't seem to be a way to attach the pins and then slot it into the bay. I ended up having all four pins in the tray and then angling in the two far pins into the hard drive, and then bending out the plastic to get the other side in. Took a few tries...

To follow up my previous issue, NZXT said they'd send a new power LED at no cost so I'm happy. The only thing I wish they did differently in the case is the hard drive bays - who needs 8 bays in this kind of case which is intended for silence? It would be nice to have fewer bays spread out...
